  You can checkout this code,

  However, I recommend using external API,
  http://ipinfo.io/

The one and only geocoder library you will ever need: GeocoderÂ*| Geocoder - The almost missing Geocoder PHP library!

This service interacts with all the major geocoding services (through their API's). You need to understand PHP to use it.

  use the freegeoip.net api, its free for 10,000 requests per hour. it returns json or xml and you can do whatever you want inside your php

Code:

<?php
$country = '';
$IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if (!empty($IP)) {
   $country = file_get_contents('http://api.hostip.info/country.php?ip='.$IP);
}
?>
